Default Jon and Kate (Jon and Kate Plus 8) on Oprah Today

I thought you would like to know that I just saw a commercial and Jon and Kate will be on Oprah today. Here's to hoping that they mention her PCOS!

It was mentioned it in one of the first episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8 that Kate has PCOS.

I didn't catch Oprah this morning, but I'll be watching the re-run tonight.

Wow, Kate sure does make PCOS look easy!

I hope that if PCOS is mentioned on the show that people dont downplay the seriousness of the syndrome and it's horrible effects on a woman's body...

I hate to say it but people need to see the "ugly" side of PCOS in order to get the picture...

I agree with you...on their personal website it mentions that she has PCOS, but I haven't heard it on the show at all...hmmmmm. It so permeates my life that I can't imagine not talking about it, KWIM? I haven't watched it yet, but it is on my DVR.

yup...i guess she does have pcos. here's a link to their story on their personal website: http://www.sixgosselins.com/Our_Story.html very interesting. i wonder what all symptoms she has?

pcos wasn't mentioned on their oprah episode today. they only were featured for 15 minutes.

Yeah, she used her standard line that they couldn't get pregnant on their own so they turned to fertility treatments. Bummer!

Oh, I didn't know Kate had PCOS. I like watching their show, but God help me if I get pregnant w/ 6 babies at once. Her kids are all so adorable, though!

I just watched the show for the first time a few days ago and I really enjoyed it. I agree with you other ladies they are adorable kiddies but it's like running a pre-school all day long. Can't imagine ever having that many kids but I'm glad they've found a way to manage it all! Really fun show I'm going to try watch it every week from now on
